,'l'o will whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, GEO-Ren G. SCHRQEDER,

'a citizen ofthe United States,'residing at.

Washington, inthe District of i Columbia,` have lnvented new and useful Improvements Ina Combination Cement and Metal Fence- Post, of which the. following is a speciication.

4 round in cross-section or it may be in any other desired form. The core may be solid and cylindrical in cross-section lor hollow cylindrical. I Also suitable and novel means is provided for attaching wire fencing to the pheric an( post, as will be `hereinafter fully`described.

vThe prime ob'ect ofthe invention is. to provide a post W ich is simple and cheap-in construction, one"which is strong and rigidI n and which islasting by reason of the fact that all metal-parts are preserved from atInos .thick coat of cement or plastic material.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of'a cement and metal fencepost which is lsquare in cross-section. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional 'view of the-post as shown in Fig. 1. Fig.. 3' is a vertical sectional vieW of a round fence-post having va hollow cylindrical core. Fig. 4 is a side elei vation of a screw used for attaching. the

wire fencing to the post.v Fig. 5 is a side ele- -vation of a clip used 'for engaging the linewires of the fencing.` Fig. 6 is an edge elevation of the said clip.

In the form of the invention as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the post is square in cross-sec tion. The metal 4core -1 1s -located in the cement material 2 may be filled into the inas "shown in the said terior of the said core ly reference to Flg. 2

. figure, if so desired.

it will be observed that the wiresecurin screw 3`is located to one side of the centra longitudinal axis of the fpost. By so locating the said screws long serewsvmay be used, as their inner ends may ass along and even beyond the central meta core 1.

In theform of the invention as shownin Fig. 3 lthe post is round -in cross-section.l The metal core 1 is cylindrical and preferably hollow without cementl filling, asv

shown in-Fig. 3. In this form of the invention thescrews 3 are located along the een# tral longitudinal axis of the post, and consequently are short, as indicated in Fig. 3.

As shown in detail in Figs. 5 and-6, a wire clip 4 is provided for securing the line-wires of the fencing 5 to the screws 3. The said clip consists of the eye 6, throughwhi'ch the v screw 3 isadapted to pass, and the depending tang 7, which is adapted to'receive the line-wire 54 and bind the same 'against the post when the screw 3 is tightened.` The tang 7 extends in a'plane at right angles to that of the `eye 6 and 1s suitably curved to receive the line-wire 5. y

In all the forms of the'inve'ntion the me tallic core isplaced in" a lsuitable mold and the cement, gr'outing,`or other plastic material is filled in about 'the corel and istam ed down. The material is then'p'ermitte rest'until the lastic material-hardens, when the com I eted) postl is removed `from the mold an is readyfor use.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters.

Patent, is-

A post of the character as described co'n i sisti'ng of a metallic core and a coating of plastic material completely -enveloping the same, a Wire-securing screw adapted Ito enter the said )lastic material, and aclip having aneye t `rough which said screw passes, and a tang adapted to receive and bind the Wire against the post.

In testimony whereof I have signed my nameto' this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE G.'SCHROEDER.
